ouch! do you practice holstering like me

This is a discussion on ouch! do you practice holstering like me within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; I spend a little to much holstering and un-holstering
pay no attention to my half eaten bread....

Yep, I sure do. But, after the first time I developed a case of gun rash like yours, I started wearing the "wife beater" type undershirts when I carry with the gun concealed by a T-shirt or something. I never carry the gun where it can rest up against my exposed skin. Give that a try.

I practice drawing 10 to 20 times every morning. (with an unloaded gun of course)

I don't practice drawing and holstering religiously, but I practiced it a bit before I went to my last class. I have a red plastic model of my EDC pistol and using that for draw practice at home was very convenient.

When I started carrying I would get a red spot from the gun on my side, the diamond checkering on my grips would irritate my skin. I tried the wife beater "T" shirts but in the summer time, its just too hot.

Wearing a holster with a sweat shield against your body will help solve your skin irritation problem. I wear a Dakota Defender made by K&D Holsters and the back side has suede on it, very comfortable.

Rub the affected area with a piece of partially eaten bread dipped in goats milk & honey.

either that or buy a holster with a skin guard.

I would drink it instead.
